What Damage Would Northern Colorado Sustain If a Nuclear Bomb Hit

Tensions have been rising between North Korea and the United States, as both countries continue to threaten each other with the use of nuclear weapons.
Whether you believe that the possibility of nuclear war is real, or if you think that it's all just "words", it is still concerning that it has gotten to this point in our world.

While Northern Colorado may not be the focus of North Korea, the thought that they could focus on either Denver or Colorado Springs may make you wonder what would happen to our region if any of their nuclear weapons ever hit one of our major cities.

I came across the website, NUKEMAP, which is where you can enter in any city in the United States...pick the size of the nuclear bomb that you want to see an example of...and see an interactive map of what it would possibly do to the area you chose.

For the test that I ran, I chose the nuclear size that North Korea last tested with, which was a 20 - 30 kt. I ended up going with the lower end of the scale and picked the 20 kt.

As you'll see below, there are different colors on the map and they each have their own degree of danger:

YELLOW = Fireball Radius (Self explanatory...everything in this area would be gone)
